VSD in the news: WVEC profiles VSD for Iraq training contract

WVEC, the local ABC affiliate, profiled VSD for the recent win of a $23 million contract to train Iraqi sailors in an effort to help the Iraqis guard their own offshore oil rigs. Currently, the security of these vital economic resources is handled entirely by U.S. troops stationed in Iraq. The plan is to ready Iraqi troops and then hand over responsibilities to the Iraqis, allowing U.S. troops to come home.
